Anyone know a front lip like this? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

The gran turismo kit is pretty much the same as the five axis ad kit

GT5 is correct. There's two versions of this kit, and the one shown here has CF inserts.

Subbed for the day someone makes that lip a reality.

Looks very similar to the five-axis kit.

I like that the front half of the side skirt doesn't come up to the front fenders.

For some reason, this side skirt has the lines more pronounced. I like it more.
Anyone?

Side skirts look most similar to TRD sides. Front lip is TRD-inspired (TRD also has CF inserts).

I don't really think the lip with CF is TRD inspired... there's other lips that have CF, so are they TRD inspired too then?

I've been playing GT5 with this 86 body kit since late 2011 well before the real production 86 was launched in Spring 2012. There were NO body kits at that time except for the Modellista, TRD, and Nurburgring prototype body kits which had already been built/leaked/marketing in 2011. The Five Axis kit wasn't even leaked til early 2012 and Five Axis is an American company whereas GT5 developers are based in Japan, so I have strong reason to believe the design had no influence from Five Axis. Polyphony Design got permission/car dynamics and engineering info exclusively from Toyota. The side skirts are very obviously TRD-inspired. I bet Polyphony Digital intended to mimic the full TRD kit but Toyota wouldn't allow it so Polyphony Digital had to tweak the design a bit. That or replicating it exactly would increase polygon count and affect stability of the 60fps target. This is all opinion so no matter arguing over it but pretty much nothing you say will sway my opinion.

Same goes for the BRZ front lip. It's STI-inspired but not replicated (I shot this picture BTW):
